Nsw sank the sun and

stars In splendor. New sank the sun and
rose the moon. and still the Volunteer
sped on. The slopes OF the Staten Island
hills were black with spectators. One
blot only was on the fair picture,
THE CHOLERA SNIP ALEsIA,
aying the yellow flag, lay In the midst Of
the feet. SO was the mummy presented
at Egyptian feasts. d,
The feet was now reinforced and
numbered nearly Ave hundred vessels.
They formed a long line, and through
this the Volunteer swept 10 victory. a
minutes breathless silence and then al
$3.50 broke forth the thunders of forts
and feet and proclaimed her the winner
Of the most exciting contest for the Ia
nous cup yet sailed. A dozen tugs
steamed TO the Volunteer.
Shall we tow you to anchorage
shouted the Captain mo, thank You,
said General Payne, well sail there
AT 5:44-45 came the Thistle, but the
bagpipes no longer played.
The applause she received was deafen-
ing.
WHAT THE RACE PROVES
This race proves that in the light airs
and smooth sea for which the Thistle
was built the Volunteer is still her SUI
perior, and the cup may consequently be
considered safe again this year. Had
the Thistle moi unfortunately been nam
pered by the fleet getting TO windward at
the start she would nave given her rival
a closer race. but the Volunteer would
still have vsnquished her. With the five
seconds time allowance given her by the
Volunteer. the Thistle was beaten l9m

with 10y. and clubs and hotels are crowd
ed. Ii was Il glorious victory. The IN
side race will be sailed on Thursday

Some political economists In anticipation
Of the prospective exhaustion Of the En-
glish coal mines, have computed the time
when their supply of coal will give out,
and England's great industries be prostrat-
ed. The resources of the coal mines in
this country are on vaster scale and less
easily drained, but the economists are sure
that the end must come, and may bring
with ii result as disastrous as the ultimate
cooling of the suns heat, predicted by some
astronomers
Long before such time of death we
may be tolerably sure that some substitute
for coal will be discovered, for the provi-
dental government of the human race will
not fail.
An inventive genius In Pocahontas, Ind,
has already shown what may be done In an
emergency. He grinds together corn-stalks
and coarse prairie grass, and moistens them
with water. When this compound has
been reduced to pulp he presses II into
blocks 12 inches long and inches thick
When these are thoroughly dried they burn
readily, give out greater heat, and last
twice as long as the same amount of soft
coal.
The inventor claims this fuel can be
easily prepared at cost of two dollars a
ton YOUTHS Companion.
